The wind is moving
But I am standing still
A life of pages
Waiting to be filled
A heart that’s hopeful
A head that’s full of dreams
But this becoming
Is harder than it seems
Feels like I’m

Looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need Your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

If there are millions
Down on their knees
Among the many
Can you still hear me
Hear me asking
Where do I belong
Is there a vision
That I can call my own
Show me I’m ..

Looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need Your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance….I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’,
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’,
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)

Got to fight another fight
I gotta run another night
Get it out
check it out
I’m on my way and I don’t feel right
I gotta get me back
I can’t be beat and that’s a fact
It’s OK
I’ll find a way
You ain’t gonna take me down no way

Don’t judge a thing until you know what’s inside it
Don’t push me
I’ll fight it
Never gonna give in
never gonna give it up, no
If you can’t catch a wave then you’re never gonna ride it
You can’t come uninvited
Never gonna give in
never gonna give it up, no
You can’t take me
I’m free

Why did it all go wrong?
I wanna know what’s going on
And what’s this holding me?
I’m not where I’m supposed to be
I gotta fight another fight
I gotta fight with all my might
I’m getting out, so check it out
you’re in my way
Yeah, you better watch out

Don’t judge a thing until you know what’s inside it
Don’t push me
I’ll fight it
Never gonna give in
never gonna give it up, no
If you can’t catch a wave then you’re never gonna ride it
You can’t come uninvited
Never gonna give in
never gonna give it up, no
You can’t take me
I’m free

Be brave little one
Make a wish for each sad little tear
Hold your head up though no one is near
Someone’s waiting for you

Don’t cry little one
There will be a smile where a frown used to be
You’ll be part of a love that you see
Someone’s waiting for you

Always keep a little prayer in your pocket
And you’re sure to see the light
Soon, there will be joy and happiness
And your little world will be bright
Have faith little one
’til your hopes and your wishes come true
You must try to be brave little one
Someone’s waiting to love you

Always keep a little prayer in your pocket
And you’re sure to see the light
Soon, there will be joy and happiness
And your little world will be bright
Have faith little one
’til your hopes and your wishes come true
You must try to be brave little one
Someone’s waiting to love you

Hello my friend I remember when you were So alive with your wide eyes to the light Then the light that you had when your heart was stolen Now you say that it ain’t worth stayin’ You wanna run but you're hesitatin’ I’m talkin’ to me

Don’t let the lights go down Don’t let the fire burn out Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe Why don’t you rise up now? Don’t be afraid to stand out That’s how the lost get found The lost get found

So when you get the chance Are you gonna take it? There’s a really big world at your fingertips And you know you have the chance to change it There’s a girl on the streets, she’s cryin’ There’s a man whose faith is dying Love is calling you

Don’t let the lights go down Don’t let the fire burn out Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe Why don’t you rise up now? Don’t be afraid to stand out That’s how the lost get found The lost get found

Why do we go with the flow? Why take the easier road? Why are we playin’ it safe? Love came to show us the way Love is a chance we should take I’m movin’ out of the way

Don’t let the lights go down Don’t let the fire burn out Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe Why don’t you rise up now? Don’t be afraid to stand out That’s how the lost get found The lost get found

So when you get the chance Are you gonna take it There’s a really big world at your fingertips And you know you have the chance to change it

What I love most about rivers is:You can't step in the same river twiceThe water's always changing, always flowingBut people, I guess, can't live like thatWe all must pay a priceTo be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowingWhat's around the riverbendWaiting just around the riverbend

I look once moreJust around the riverbendBeyond the shoreWhere the gulls fly freeDon't know what forWhat I dream the day might sendJut around the riverbendFor meComing for me

I feel it there beyond those treesOr right behind these waterfallsCan I ignore that sound of distant drummingFor a handsome sturdy husbandWho builds handsome sturdy wallsAnd never dreams that something might be coming?Just around the riverbendJust around the riverbend

I look once moreJust around the riverbendBeyond the shoreSomewhere past the seaDon't know what for ...Why do all my dreams extendJust around the riverbend?Just around the riverbend ...

Should I choose the smoothest curveSteady as the beating drum?Should I marry Kocoum?Is all my dreaming at an end?Or do you still wait for me, Dream GiverJust around the riverbend?

The ones you love they let you downAnd I want you to know that I¹m sorryThe choices that they made were wrongYou were caught in the middle and I¹m sorry

So when the anger and the painGet the best of youI know it seems like you¹re all aloneBut I am feeling it too

'Cuz you're my little girlYou¹re the one that I createdNo one in this world could ever be like youWhen you're cryin' in the nightAll you need to do is call meI¹ll be there for you'Cuz you¹re my little girl

When you're lookin in the mirrorI hope you're likin' what you seeBecause no matter what you're feelin'You're perfect to me

Because I see you as a childBlameless in my sightJust spend some time with meAnd I¹ll make everything alright

I know you don't deserve what you've been throughI know it doesn't seem fairI know that there are times you think you're aloneBut you've got to know that I will be there, be there

You think I'm an ignorant savageAnd you've been so many placesI guess it must be soBut still I cannot seeIf the savage one is meHow can there be so much that you don't know?You don't know ...

You think you own whatever land you land onThe Earth is just a dead thing you can claimBut I know every rock and tree and creatureHas a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are peopleAre the people who look and think like youBut if you walk the footsteps of a strangerYou'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moonOr asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forestCome taste the sunsweet berries of the EarthCome roll in all the riches all around youAnd for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothersThe heron and the otter are my friendsAnd we are all connected to each otherIn a circle, in a hoop that never ends

How high will the sycamore grow?If you cut it down, then you'll never knowAnd you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

For whether we are white or copper skinnedWe need to sing with all the voices of the mountainsWe need to paint with all the colors of the wind

You can own the Earth and stillAll you'll own is Earth untilYou can paint with all the colors of the wind

Waking up I see that everything is OKThe first time in my life and now it's so greatSlowing down I look around and I am so amazedI think about the little things that make life great

I wouldn't change a thing about itThis is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliantI hope that it will stayThis moment is perfectPlease don't go awayI need you nowAnd I'll hold on to itDon't you let it pass you by

I found a place so safe, not a single tearThe first time in my life and now it's so clearFeel calm, I belong, I'm so happy hereIt's so strong and now I let myself be sincere

I wouldn't change a thing about itThis is the best feeling

It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreamingIt's the happiness inside that you're feelingIt's so beautiful it makes you wanna cryIt's a state of bliss, you think you're dreamingIt's the happiness inside that you're feelingIt's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cryThis innocence is brilliantMakes you wanna cryThis innocence is brilliancePlease don't go awayCause I need you nowAnd I'll hold on to itDon't you let it pass you by
